Stare at the River

Venus De Milo

Shoots a rifle with her feet 

Beaded belly dancers

Shake the crowded street 

But ten thousand years flow

Through her briny clay

Lest a hungry rat should eat my eyes 

I cannot look away 

So I'm going down

And stare at the river

She don't mind

She got a mouth that smooth and wide

I've seen her darker side

She got a freight train running through her veins

She keeps me satisfied

I know she'll never leave

She don't even change her mind 

She's a danger when she grieves

And a savior when she smiles 

So I'm going down

And stare at the river

These so called friends steal me blind 

Spew lies straight in my face

She dips me in her loving arms

To cool my violent rage

I sway atop her canyon rim

Breath in her scented sprawl

My tender hand slips from the vine

But She catch me when I fall

So I'm going down

And stare at the river

She don't mind

She got a mouth that smooth and wide

I've seen her darker side

She got a freight train running through her veins

She keeps me satisfied

I know she'll never leave

She don't even change her mind 

She's a danger when she grieves

And a savior when she smiles 

So I'm going down

And stare at the river
